Platelet count
Platelet count refers to the number of platelets contained in a unit volume of blood. Platelets are the smallest cells in the blood and protect the integrity of capillaries. Effective platelet quality and quantity play an important role in the collective normal hemostasis process. Platelet hemostasis combines mechanical blockage of wounds and biochemical adhesion polymerization.
